“Every moment and every event of every man’s life on earth plants something in his soul.” – Thomas Merton
Oh Mr. Merton, how perfectly your words fit with me right now. My soul is overflowing these days….and I imagine it to look something like a beautiful unkept garden with bright wild flowers and tall grasses. And a few weeds here and
there :) 3 weeks ago I completed my time at George Fox University. College has been a journey for me, a journey that has lead me deeper into the heart of God, and shown me the beauty of vulnerability and trust found in community. I am amazed at how God has created us to be in relationship with each other and given us these hearts that continue to grow, and stretch, and love. I smile as I think of all the people that have come into my life these past 4 years and all of the laughs, tears, crazy adventures, and conversations we have shared. These are the things, the people I love so dearly that have each planted something in my soul. They are the bright wildflowers and tall grasses.
What I love about the journey is that it never ends. Our relationship with Christ continues to deepen, continues to uncover more beauty and truth, and continues to reveal to us the image in which we were created. George Fox was a beautiful part of my journey and has prepared me I think in many ways for the next step, Mission Year. In 3 months I will be traveling across the U.S. and joining the Mission Year team! I am excited, anxious, and nervous, but am so trusting in the ever faithfulness of God. I have nothing but good expectations for the year ahead. I am confident that the year will be filled with challenges, joys, and struggles, but I rest in the provision and sovereignty of God and know that he is present and working in all things.
I hope to be updating this fairly often! So check back soon :)
Love,
ra
